My first (and only raw) taste of Black Currant was from a neighbor from a across the street from my parents who harvested from bushes that had reseeded themselves in her yard.  Well, they tasted so bad raw that I'd (almost) rather eat a raw persimmon.  That memory has kept me from planting black currants since, even though I have gooseberry, red currant and Jostaberry.  If I can't eat it raw, I probably don't want to have it.  I probably need to try some of these better cultivars, but haven't had the opportunity.
